I want to exclude the 3 cxf jars from the war file so that those jars will be loaded from jboss 7.2 server. I am using the below code for that but jars are not getting removed.
<war destfile="dist/#{project-web}.war" webxml="WebRoot/WEB-INF/web.xml">
<fileset dir="WebRoot"/>
<lib dir="WebRoot-AL/WEB-INF/lib">
<exclude name="cxf-core-3.2.5*.jar" />
<exclude name="cxf-rt-frontend-simple-3.2.5*.jar" />
<exclude name="cxf-rt-transports-http-3.2.5*.jar" />
</lib>
<!--lib dir="WebRoot/WEB-INF/lib" /-->
<classes dir="${bin.hudson}/extractor"/>
</war>
Is the above mentioned script correct? If not, how can I do this?

I have an ant task to concatenate javascript files in a directory and output to concat.js What I want to do is first check if any files have a later modified time than that of concact.js before proceeding.
Here is the existing task:
<target name="minijs" depends="lintjs">
<echo>Concatinating ${plugins.dir} to ${plugins.concat}</echo>
<concat destfile="${plugins.concat}">
<fileset dir="${plugins.dir}">
<exclude name="**/vendor/**" />
<exclude name="*beconcat*" />
<include name="**/*.js" />
</fileset>
</concat>
This is what the uptodate task has been created for
<uptodate property="isUpToDate"
targetfile="${plugins.concat}">
<srcfiles dir="${plugins.dir}">
<exclude name="**/vendor/**" />
<exclude name="*beconcat*" />
<include name="**/*.js" />
</srcfiles>
will set the property isUpToDate if none of the files is newer than the target file - and not set the property at all if one of the files is. You can then use unless to conditionally rebuild the file.
I am using following Ant script to create a war of simple web application.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="MyProject" default="war">
<path id="compile.classpath">
<fileset dir="WebContent/WEB-INF/lib">
<include name="*.jar" />
</fileset>
</path>
<target name="compile">
<javac destdir="WebContent/WEB-INF/classes" debug="true" srcdir="src">
<classpath refid="compile.classpath" />
</javac>
</target>
<target name="war" depends="compile">
<war destfile="build/myproject.war" webxml="WebContent/WEB-INF/web.xml">
<fileset dir="WebContent">
<include name="**/*.jsp" />
</fileset>
<lib dir="WebContent/WEB-INF/lib" />
<classes dir="WebContent/WEB-INF/classes" />
</war>
</target>
</project>
It's creating the war but when I am opening the war, it's not containing JSP files due to which application is not running. Any idea what is wrong?
Also, right now I am coping war manually in Weblogic. Is there any Ant command which can deploy war?
I don't know exact answer but here is my way of using Ant build.xml for webapps. Give it a try. This works inside Eclipse or run from the command line. Few key points are:
build.xml has reference to compile-time libraries, including servlet-api.jar
dynamic META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
separate targets for compile, jar and war tasks to allow easier per project custom rules
webapp war don't have individual .class files but compiled web-inf/lib/mywebapp.jar library to minimize filesystem noice
you may create web/WEB-INF/classes/ folder and put some .properties file or extreme case "binary provided" class files. They are put inside war package along with other jsp,html,js files.
folder structure is very streamlined, I can use mywebapp/web/ folder directly in Tomcat service during development. Each html, jsp etc changes are reflected at runtime. Compiling jar triggers Tomcat to reload webapp instance.
Use this common folder structure for webapp project.
/mywebapp/ant.bat
/mywebapp/build.xml
/mywebapp/classes/
/mywebapp/src/
/mywebapp/src/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

Build script creates war package and manifest.mf within web-inf/lib/mywebapp.jar is updated to have build number, title and version. Very handy you can use folder content as a template for new webapp projects. Just edit build.xml to have new project name.
Some compile-time dependencies point mywebapp/web-inf/lib folder. Non war-packaged libraries are put to mywebapp/lib/ folder for compile time only. I like keeping each dependency within project version control so thats a reason for this lib folder. You may use *.jar wildcard ant syntax but I explictly list each file for self documentation purpose.
Here is a bonus file to be used in Tomcat during development time. It publishes webapp on Tomcat and any changes in project folder is seen immediately, its very handy for client file changes (html,js,jsp).
this file is a copypaste from mywebapp/web/META-INF/context.xml file but an explicit docBase attribute is added.
It directs Tomcat to use files directly from project folder, no redeployment needed at runtime
Start tomcat and keep it running, you may run several webapp projects withing same Tomcat instance. Sometimes bigger development projects need it.

ps: Ant build system is fine no matter what some people may say. Go with it as you please.
I want to copy a .properties file from a certain location to my WEB-INF/classes/com/infiniti folder(in a WAR file).
I have gone through this link How to get Ant to copy properties file to classes directory
using which I can copy the .properties file to WEB-INF/classes/ but not to WEB-INF/classes/com/infiniti
Code I am using is:
<war destfile="${deploy}/acc.war" webxml="${warSrc}/web/WEB-INF/web.xml">
<lib dir="${lib}">
.......
.......
.......
<classes dir="${configHome}/config/com/infiniti">
<include name="accredit.properties" />
</classes>
...
....
.......
</war>
Also I need to copy ${configHome}/resources/com/infiniti/errorcode folder to
WEB-INF/classes/com/infiniti.
Is this possible using Ant?
yes, you can use for instance ZipFileSet like this
<war destfile="${deploy}/acc.war" webxml="${warSrc}/web/WEB-INF/web.xml">
...
<zipfileset dir="${configHome}/config/com/infiniti" includes="**/*.properties" prefix="WEB-INF/classes/com/infiniti"/>
Yes, it's possible using ant. Just use the copy or sync commands to move your file:
<copy todir="${distribution}/location" file="${local.path}/data/file.txt">
</copy>
You can also copy with rules:
<copy includeemptydirs="false" todir="${combined.bin}">
<fileset dir="${buildbin}"/>
<fileset dir="${output2buildbin}"/>
<fileset dir="${output3buildbin}"/>
</copy>
Using sync:
<sync includeemptydirs="false" todir="${distres}">
<fileset dir="${buildres}">
<include name="logging/**" />
</fileset>
</sync>
Tasks are described on their doc site:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/copy.html
The same 'fileset' declarative applies to the war task:
Examples
Assume the following structure in the project's base directory:
thirdparty/libs/jdbc1.jar
thirdparty/libs/jdbc2.jar
build/main/com/myco/myapp/Servlet.class
src/metadata/myapp.xml
src/html/myapp/index.html
src/jsp/myapp/front.jsp
src/graphics/images/gifs/small/logo.gif
src/graphics/images/gifs/large/logo.gif
then the war file myapp.war created with
<war destfile="myapp.war" webxml="src/metadata/myapp.xml">
<fileset dir="src/html/myapp"/>
<fileset dir="src/jsp/myapp"/>
<lib dir="thirdparty/libs">
<exclude name="jdbc1.jar"/>
</lib>
<classes dir="build/main"/>
<zipfileset dir="src/graphics/images/gifs"
prefix="images"/>
</war>
will consist of
WEB-INF/web.xml
WEB-INF/lib/jdbc2.jar
WEB-INF/classes/com/myco/myapp/Servlet.class
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
index.html
front.jsp
images/small/logo.gif
images/large/logo.gif
http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/war.html
I am using WAS6.1 as the server(but I guess this should not matter).I have a filters.properties file. It has key value pair (e.g. config.file.name=/usr/home/config.xml). These values are being used in web.xml as shown below:
<context-param>
<param-name>config.file</param-name>
<param-value>#config.file.name#</param-value>
</context-param>
So I have defined a build.xml which uses filterset task from ant to define all those filters but when I try to access the home page it says that not able to find location #config.file.name#. Obviously, these filters are not being loaded properly. Here is my build.xml code which defines the filters during the compilation. What do you think I am missing?
<target name="compile">
<property name="compile.target" location="${project.build.dir}/WEB-INF/classes" />
<property name="project.build.dir.lib" location="${project.build.dir}/WEB-INF/lib" />
<mkdir dir="${compile.target}" />
<mkdir dir="${project.build.dir.lib}" />
<!-- copy the web content into the build location -->
<copy todir="${project.build.dir}">
<fileset dir="${web.project.webcontent.dir}" excludes="**/classes/**" />
**<filterset>
<filtersfile file="${web.project.src.dir}/filters/${file.filter.name}" />
</filterset>**
</copy>
<!-- compile the java source and put it in the classes directory -->
<javac classpathref="classpath" srcdir="${web.project.src.dir}" destdir="${compile.target}" debug="${javac.debug}" deprecation="${javac.deprecation}" fork="${javac.fork}" memoryMaximumSize="${javac.memoryMaximumSize}" nowarn="${javac.nowarn}" failonerror="${javac.failonerror}">
</javac>
<!-- copy all the non-java resources (properties, etc) into the classes directory-->
<copy todir="${compile.target}">
<fileset dir="${web.project.src.dir}">
<exclude name="**/*.java" />
<exclude name="filters/**" />
</fileset>
</copy>
<!-- Create a jar file from the ${compile.target} folder -->
<jar jarfile="${project.build.dir.lib}/${ant.jar.file}.jar" excludes="filters/**" basedir="${compile.target}" />
</target>
Your feedback is highly appreciated.
Thanks for looking at my post. It is working fine. The main issue was that the path to the properties file was not correct.
My goal is have my ant build script build a war file and include the jars that ivy knows this project depends on. The best code I could come up with at the moment is the following
<mkdir dir="dist/lib"/>
<ivy:retrieve pattern="dist/lib/[artifact].[ext]" sync="true"/>
<war destfile="dist/${ivy.module}.war" basedir="build" includes="**/*.class"
webxml="${war.webxml}">
<fileset dir="${war.web}"/>
<lib dir="dist/lib"/>
</war>
The problem with this code is it copies the jars twice. Once in to my dist/lib directory and again in to the war when it's created. It works but I can't shake the feeling there is a better way.
What I would like to do is something more like the following
<ivy:cachepath pathid="locpathref.classpath"/>
<war destfile="dist/${ivy.module}.war" basedir="build" includes="**/*.class"
webxml="${war.webxml}">
<fileset dir="${war.web}"/>
<lib refid="locpathref.classpath"/>
</war>
The problem is that the lib tag does not take in a refid of any kind. Any ideas or am I stuck with an extra set of file copies?
The problem here is that the lib tag is a custom fileset that targets it's files into the war archive's lib sub directory. It might be possible to write a custom war task but I don't think it's worth the effort.
If want to improve the manner in which ivy manages your war's dependencies might I suggest using configurations?
Create a configuration describing the run-time dependencies:
<ivy-module version="2.0">
<info organisation="apache" module="hello-ivy"/>
<configurations>
<conf name="build" description="Libraries needed to for compilation"/>
<conf name="war" extends="build" description="Libraries that should be included in the war file" />
</configurations>
<dependencies>
<dependency org="commons-lang" name="commons-lang" rev="2.0" conf="build->*,!sources,!javadoc"/>
<dependency org="commons-cli" name="commons-cli" rev="1.0" conf="build->*,!sources,!javadoc"/>
</dependencies>
</ivy-module>
Afterwards you retrieve them into a dedicated directory (using a pattern) which can be simply included using the war task's lib tag:
<ivy:retrieve pattern="${lib.dir}/[conf]/[artifact].[ext]"/>
<war destfile="${war.file}" webxml="${resources.dir}/web.xml">
<fileset dir="${resources.dir}" excludes="web.xml"/>
<lib dir="${lib.dir}/war"/>
</war>
The advantage of this approach is that you use the ivy conf attribute of each project dependency to ultimately decide if the jar gets included within the war file or not. The build file no longer cares.
In conclusion I understand that the point of your post was concern for multiple copies of your jar files... Using my suggested approach will further multiple your copies, but I would submit that this is not an issue provided you have a clean target to remove them afterwards.
If you're using Ant 1.8, you can use the technique described here:
http://www.beilers.com/2010/06/ivy-dependency-management-lessons-learned-and-ant-1-8-mapped-resources/
EXAMPLE:
<war destfile="${war.full.path}" webxml="WebContent/WEB-INF/web.xml" manifest="${manifest.path}">
<fileset dir="WebContent">
</fileset>
<classes dir="${build.dir}"/>
<mappedresources>
<restrict>
<path refid="classpath.CORE"/>
<type type="file"/>
</restrict>
<chainedmapper>
<flattenmapper/>
<globmapper from="*" to="WEB-INF/lib/*"/>
</chainedmapper>
</mappedresources>
<zipfileset dir="src" prefix="WEB-INF/classes">
<include name="**/resources/**/*.properties" />
<include name="**/resources/**/*.xml" />
</zipfileset>
</war>
